GREENyt1AA;, S. C., Janl. 31.-Pros
perity could not have marked for
special favor a prettier town in) South
Carolina than Greenville. The face o
nature is fairer here, possibly, than it
is at Spartanburp, a few miles east am
north, but also a little further awa;
from the noble Blue Ridge that wall
Greenville to the north. Greenvill
is more advantageously placed that
Spartanburg for improvement, for It
founders chose for a site a plateau thai
is without some of the hill dilliultie
that will count when Spartanbri
begins to raiso taxes for street anti
other municipal improvement; tha
are bound to come to both hewe thriv

Gent)cm'ed 0 o Cneral Assembly :
While South' Carolinians maifjudily a
be proud of the activity manifested-in a
the State today in cotton manufacture, a
yet when euvreygo are turned to Otheir
lspheres of industridl activity We tind a
tibe contrast between them and cotton 0
manufacture quito' marked. In no e
other lines may the State be said to be t
doing what slhi' might easily do. The 8
great need of the State today along in
tiustrial lines is % proper realization i
and Uppreciation of the wealth of un t
i developed resources which sho has c
within her borders. Some of these are
unknoWn- to the vast injority of the t
people of the State while others, if a
known, are not appreciated by her'dwn c
people, and are unknown to outsiders, a
and, more than this, there is at pro c
sent no means by which either the I
people of the State or the people of t
the rest of the word may become ac- t
quainted with the opportunities for in- g
dustrial ,levelopment that lie idle in s
tIc Statu. Theio is need of some i
direct mueans of properly investilgating t
these resourees and calling the atton- I
tion of the public to them. An organ- o
ization with this special object in view I
is Ono of the greatest needs of thu 8
State to:day. Prof. Holmes of North a
Carolina has very recently caillti our 1
attention n.ost forcibly to what our V
sister Stato is doing to systematically
develop her resources, and has also
shown us how successfully this work is
I being accompiliA bed. A simuilar State
bureau sloi le be etablished in South I
Carolina.
The objects of such a survey would
be quito varied, and w4outi incItiude not
only a determination and i nvestiga
tion of the mineral resourct.s of tie
Stat-, tuch as her depo-its of iron,
old and other nii.rajo, because theo
are pi obably of coilm paratively small
value, but wouid give its attention
imiuch more largely to a number of
other lines of work that would mean
far more to the State thathhe devel
opinut of her mineral resources alone.
One of the imost prqsing question ,
before the peopeu of thb Stato today ib
that of securing better roads. A
bureau is neLI- to determine the dis
tribution of road building, materials in
tlhe Stato and to make tests of the dur
baliity of tneso materials before the
counties in a blind way ko ahead and
spend probably thousands of dollar"
putting the suit-ability of such ma
terials forroa. building purposes to
the test. G
Purther, a systematic guidance will
be needed ic miethodsof ioad construe
Lion, and these can best be furnished
Lhrough a conti al State bureau.
With the d v Aopmei.t of oltAr ind'us- o
tries, there is coming yearly a greate )
demaid for building btone, and quar- (1
ries ate being ueveloped that are indi- r
eative of an :it-euLry tiat should soon 0
be of large proportions. In many pot -
Lions of the State there are doubtlets I
betis of cxce..lent building materials, s
while there are doubtless also many e
o ther:- of poor qj iality. A study of the c
distribution uu qualities of building
tones then wud come properly with-.t
in the scope of eucii a sur-vey.
The clays of val foul sins within a
the State foirm one of hierimusjt, valuable c

deposits of fuller-'s earth, some of t
wieb1d may be fodntd valuab~le for In

that inspired the spirit of murder in
Kentucky. Again and again I was told
during my trip with Mr. Bryan that
Mr. Goebel would not survive to take
i his seat, even if helwere elected. The
combined corporations could not atiord
to let him live.
" How soon will this condition of
things spread to other States? I have
certainly seen the faint stirrings of
this spirit of the vengeance of over
thrown corporate power much nearer
home than Kentucky."
-Walter L. Sherburne, a member of
the Twentieth Kansas regiment, who
died recently at Topeka, was sick in
bed at Manila when the fightiog with
the Filiplnosl began. Ho grabbid a
rifle and with a Minnesota regiment
went to the firing line. He was soon
shot just over the heart and Went back
to his bed. After feeling a little bet
tor, he made hie escape from the hos
pital again and rejoined the light.
Twice more lie was taken back to the
hospital, and twice more made his es
cape to get into the fighting. Upon
his return to the hospital for the
last time he was too weak to leave his
bed.
-The 10publican Lieutenant Gover
nor of Kentucky is quoted as saying,
the day before the death of Governor
Goeb31, that " it matters n thing as to
the result of Goebel's wound, so far as
> the Republican party in Kentucky is
concerned. If he dies, he is a martyr;
if he lives, he is a hero. In either
) event, the Republican party is gone
3 to hell."' The Lieutenant Governur is
evidently a wise and far seeing young
man.
-Gen Milee has long been known as
one of the most accomplished horse
men in the army. Since he has been
stationed in Washington he has kept
up his riding, and every morning,
whatever the weather may be, he
spends an hour or two on horseback.
-The Cuban census shows the popu
lation of tle island to be 1,572,840,
which is between 50,000 and 60,000 less
than when the last census was taken
by the Spaniards In 1887.
